Lester Holt has been lambasted on social media with accusations he favored Hillary Clinton following Monday night's presidential debates.

Some allegations against the NBC moderator included that he frequently interrupted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and went easy on Clinton.

Even Trump himself implied that he was disappointed the topics of Clinton's foundation, emails and Benghazi scandal were never raised.

In an infographic, Vox.com noted Trump was interrupted by Holt when he was speaking 30 times and he stopped Clinton only 19 times.

Lester Holt has received a barrage of criticism on social media for his performance as debate moderator on Monday night

+6

Many, including Trump, noted that Holt appeared to go easier on Clinton than he did on Trump

One question Holt asked was about Trump's tax return, which he has refused to release.
But many agreed with Trump that Holt asked almost nothing about Clinton's emails, Benghazi or the Clinton Foundation.
Fox News commentator Todd Starnes even wondered if Holt was auditioning for press secretary in a Clinton White House, such was his perceived bias against Trump.
After the debate, Trump tweeted: 'Nothing on emails. Nothing on the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And nothing on #benghazi.'

Holt, who is a registered Republican in New York - despite allegations from Trump that the moderator is a Democrat - also implied Trump had something to hide in his tax return.

Some criticized the phrasing of questions, saying they implicitly made Trump seem racist or sexist

While others noticed that Clinton wasn't asked about her emails, Benghazi or the Clinton Foundation

When it came to the candidates' problematic pasts, Holt appeared to ask more questions about Trump's birther conspiracy, which came to a head in recent weeks.
However, Breitbart noted that Holt didn't ask Clinton about her remarks about 'super-predators' when she was First Lady.
Breitbart also suggested Holt framed questions to make Trump appear racist and sexist.
The site noted that, toward the end of the debate, Holt asked Trump about what he meant when he said Clinton doesn't look 'presidential'.

Author Pamela Geller ripped into Holt saying he 'served his overlords quite well tonight' before launching into a tirade about how poorly she thought he performed

Holt inserted that Clinton has become the first woman to be nominated for president when he asked his first question.
When Trump answered, Holt interrupted, Breitbart noted.
Holt also held Trump accountable for supporting the Iraq War but didn't bring up that Clinton voted for it.

While some said that Holt's questions put Trump on the defensive all night, others said the fact-checking was only done to Trump - not Clinton

He also appeared to interject more during Trump's comments than Clinton, the site suggested.
Todd Starnes of Fox News asked: 'Was Lester Holt auditioning for Hillary's press secretary?'
On Twitter, people took note of the seemingly biased moderation.
'Dumb @LesterHoltNBC was EXTREMELY bias during this debate
'He did not question Crooked Hillary on Benghazi, Clinton Foundation & More!' YouTuber Jeff Tutorials wrote.

Even moderates thought Holt didn't do well. Some suggested he might have gone out for a bathroom break. Tony Maglio said Holt should've had better questions that Trump would've faltered over on his own

Author Pamela Geller ripped into Holt on Twitter, writing: '@LesterHoltNBC, you served your overlords quite well tonight.
'The 1st prez debate & @LesterHoltNBC never asked about email server, Benghazi, Huma,HRC Foundation pay4play,ClintonFoundation,deleted emails
'@LesterHoltNBC is totally outta control.
'I would never have shook @LesterHoltNBC's hand.'

However, despite the lambasting, CNN's Brian Stelter said Trump's campaign wasn't upset with Holt

Former SNL writer and The Wrap reporter Tony Maglio wrote: 'Bad job by Lester Holt & mainstream reporters on Trump walkout. Let him hang himself, tying the noose isn’t your job. Ethics, a*******.'
During the debate some noticed Holt's performance and asked if he had left the stage as he failed to intervene and allowed candidates to go over their time limits.
Some suggested he left for a bathroom break while others asked if he was out for a snack.
Conversely, CNN's Brian Stetler tweeted out that Trump's campaign wasn't taking Holt to task and said he did a great job.
Trump also told a reporter on his way out that he thought the questions were fair.

What's important to the American people

What's Important to Lester Holt

Obama's birthplace
Trump's tax return
Misrepresenting Trump's stance on the Iraqi war
Trump saying Hillary doesn't look presidential and trying to make it sexist

What Lester Holt totally ignored

Clinton's law breaking email scandal
The Clinton Foundation and donor relationships
Benghazi
Iran
ISIS
Failed Middle East Policy
The Russian reset
the riots

While he was concerned about Trump saying Hillary didn't look Presidential, he raised no issue about Hillary calling tens of millions of Americans deplorable

While he questioned citizen Trump's position on the Iraqi war and then injected himself into the debate, he had no problem with Hillary voting for the war and then saying she only voted for it because Bush lied to her. Then she voted against the surge which finally ended the war (before she fucked it up again), and she said she only voted against the surge for political reasons. He has no problems with all her twisting and distortions as a paid representative of the American people, BUTT he has a huge problem with Trump saying something like "IDK, I guess it's the right thing to do" (on one occasion) as he ignores the scores of interviews Trump said he opposed the war (and did so long before he ever entered the political arena).

Lester Holt is a lying piece of shit, like so many democrats, he's a political hack, the most biased moderator in debate history. He makes Candy Crowley look decent and honest and credible.

He'll never receive widespread respect again in his life. Shame on Lester Holt

Nobody cares about Benghazi other than people like Joe and Dave. And he did ask about the email server and Hillary answered it perfectly by accepting blame for her actions. Something Trump can't do. Blaming the moderator for Trump's piss poor performance won't help. He's just clearly not qualified to be President. Like throwing some RXer up there to debate a real professional.

SheriffJoe · Sep 27, 2016

Worst moderator ever. Trump got 6 follow-up questions and 47 interruptions, the witch got ZERO follow-ups and 6 interruptions.

Still, Trump held his own and did fine.

Cruz or Newt would have stopped dead in their tracks and called out the lib hack for what he was.

Lester Holt has joined James Comey as the latest people to go into the tank for Clinton.

so true, maybe you should put Debbie Wasserloser Schultzie in the moderators chair

no an honest soul among them

The Guesser · Sep 27, 2016

Sure Did. Every Time the idiot Drumpf said "Excuse Me", The Balless wonder backed down. Every time he tried to limit the Idiot Drumpf's time, The Idiot Drumpf kept rambling on, and The Ball Less Wonder disappeared. I agree Holt was one of the worst moderators ever. He let the Idiot Drumpf walk all over him, he let the Idiot Drumpf walk all over Hillary. Hillary let Drumpf walk all over he, because a moderator is supposed to control that. Lester, The Republican failed miserably. He didn't fact check either of them.
